Oct 25, 2018

In this update we came up with something special for our paper lovers. We now support the Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio devices from Wacom!

Previously, whenever you sketched something on paper, you had to take a picture of your sketches and trace them manually. Well, no longer. Now, with the integration of Wacom devices you can sketch on paper and every stroke is imported into Vectornator automatically. It‘s magical!

We can’t wait to see which incredible paper drawings you take into the digital world.

Those times are over! Double tap a mask to edit the masked objects. The same thing also applies to groups.

Improvements: - We merged the Add Node Tool with the Node Selection Tool. Simply tap on the edge of a path to add a new node while the Node Selection Tool is active.- While creating shapes, like rectangles or circles you can now move and resize them without having to change the tool. You can even select other objects while the Shape Tool is active. Isn't that amazing?- When opening a document with fonts that are missing on your device, a popup notifies you about them.- Moving objects around in complex documents is faster

It’s the only app I use

I use this and Youdoodle pro for all my photo editing needs on iPad. I love everything about this app, and use it for everything from making posters to drawing stuff. Here are a few of my favorite things:1: .svg file format, which means the pen tool and straight lines.2: It’s super easy to use right away, plus there are always new features to discover.3: it has an absolutely incredible development team behind it; they are always updating the app and making sure it has all of the features of the newest version of iOS.

There are some issues with the app that I’ve been experiencing, and features I want added:

100% seems to be scaled incorrectly on iPad (2017). It’s now says 100% when you’re zoomed out to see the entire image. 100% used to mean actual size (where 1 inch on the virtual ruler was 1 inch in real life).

I want to be able to crop imported images.

Sometimes the color picker is /slightly/ off when picking the color from an image, it’s only enough to notice when the picture is printed on paper. It might be the printer’s fault.

I would like a search bar for fonts, or at least a “recent/favorites” area.

And finally, the Hail Mary of requests: Animation, please. (Even though I know you won’t.)

This app is the best in its class, easily one of the first apps I’d recommend to anyone with an iPad. Get it today!

Amazing app, but Update 2.0 is very confusing

Old comment: The new 2.0 update has made this app completely confusing. Many functions don’t work as they have previously. Create lines from text doesn’t even react. What a heartbreak.New comment: I received a notification that this issue has been resolved. My only complaint is that the app has been so thoroughly redesigned that many functions assume intuitive knowledge, rather than utilizing previously taught functions. For example, the alt function changed to two icons displaying two shapes and a clipboard(?) to mean copy and paste? Why not just have the words showing? With all of these new changes, a user guide and accompanying tutorials have yet to be published.

Ultimately, the app is fantastic for being free (seriously, incredible) however if we’re reviewing this honestly, then the above is what I have to say.

What I’ve been looking for!

I’ve had my iPad Pro for 3 years and finally discovered an alternative to adobe illustrator that works well enough with my Apple Pencil to actually get work done. Intuitive for anyone who has used illustrator, this app is cleanly designed and easy to use. I’m very impressed with its performance and simplicity, so much that I think I can get detailed work done! One thing I’d request in future versions is art boards. Within the pen tool (thank you for prioritizing bezier pen functionality!), adobe illustrator allows the user to hold the space bar to translate the current entity while drawing the next point in the path. Is this function already here somehow? Anyway, this is a very impressive tool I will be using extensively. Thank you to the developer for your work on this!

Thank you for your review and feedback! Art boards is a high priority feature on our roadmap and we will add it very soon. The space bar functionality isn't available yet but we've added it to our feature request list. If you are missing something else you can easily create a feature request here https://vectornator.fider.io/. If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to send us an email to support@vectornator.io.
